How identity verification works in Taiwan.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Taiwanese identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-ID attacks targeting the rapidly expanding fintech and crypto sectors supervised by the FSC, forgery of the National Identity Card during the ongoing chip-upgrade migration, and cross-strait account takeover operations. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Money Laundering Control Act (MLCA) — last amended 2021
- Terrorism Financing Prevention Act (TFPA) 2021
- Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) 2022
- Financial Holding Company Act (FHCA)
- Banking Act (銀行法) — FSC implementing regulations on CDD
- APG (Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering) — mutual evaluation framework
